Used Vaporeon on the last Primarina raid. It went very well. Reasons why Vaporeon's my top favorite mon and no, it's not because of the damn copypasta.
Galarian Articuno is a cheat code for the raid too you can put him to sleep with hypnosis if you want but I just spam freezing glare, 2 reflects, and a couple future sights.
1st solo try with G Articuno worked.. Calm Mind Stored Power Freezing Glare Shell Bell Max Sp Atk Minimum requirements posted above.. 1st turn boost stats.. Any hax suffered from the raid besides poison is actually a positive.. Spam freezing glare until near breaking shield.. Regular damage output should be enough to keep recovering safely each turn.. Stores power if competitive ability activates more then once.. Not too difficult..
Yeah it’s almost like there have been other raids and events going on … and that they’ve ran these stater raids twice a month for people who missed them the first time 😶
Thank you so much for making another one of these. You are by far my favorite “7 star raid mightiest mark coverer”. Your audience always has the best strats in the comments too.
thank you for the strat as always! two things to note: 1. getting poisoned by Sludge Wave = might as well restart the raid 2. Stored power is so strong, doing only 4 Calm Minds + Acid Armor is more than enough in case your HP gets too low
Welcome back to the War Room. I have a Mewtwo solo build if anyone wants to try it out. Mewtwo build (Mewtwo the Unrivaled recommended) Tera type: Psychic Nature: Modest EVs: 252 HP 252 Special Attack Item: Shell Bell IVs: Best or Hyper Train HP, Special Attack, Defence and Special Defence Moves: Psystrike Psychic Nasty Plot Recover Start by using Psychic 4 times to build a Tera charge. Once Swampert resets your stats, start alternating between Nasty Plot, Recover and Psystrike. Don't forget to Terastalize.
I got Slowbro to work, but instead of Iron Defense, I used Amnesia. I kept my stats at max Sp.Atk and Def so that the high Def would tank Swampert’s physical attacks, while Amnesia would tank its special attacks. The fact that this Swampert is a mixed attacker is actually kinda sneaky challenging because if you max out one defensive stat, it just hits you in the other one.
I think this is also dependent on which NPCs you get because I tried this a bunch of times last night and kept losing, but then I did it again this morning after the game refreshed the NPCs and it worked.
Slowbro does work, you just gotta substitute with Iron Defense with Amnesia. Also, probably EV train into HP instead of Sp.ATK, so you have more bulk. Stored power will do big damage, even with the lower stats.
I'll just say: I too solo'd this (first try) with my Slowbro when I had both Bellibolt and Arboliva as my partners as well. These two Pokémon, especially together, are super useful, massively reducing the damage you take (from Light Screen and Grassy Terrain). Also Intimate users are useful (Tauros, Arcanine, Staraptor). I personally feel this might be one of those raids where a good partner can be especially helpful 😊
Hey uhhhh a huge bug happened to me, So in a raid it was me playing the vaporeon, another guy with a smeargle, and two mewtwos, a normal one and a shiny one The raid took a long time to load and then I realized my vaporeon didn’t have the right moveset and it was a lot like a smeargle one, then swampert one shot me so I was super confused, when i respawned I realized I myself was the smeargle , the normal mewtwo was vaporeon, the smeargle was shiny mewtwo and the shiny mewtwo was normal mewtwo, I don’t know what happened or how it happened, but we obviously lost the raid, somehow we switched Pokémon, I took photos and videos if Austin wants proof but I don’t know if it’s a common thing, anyway thanks a lot Austin since the set you gave us was really helpful!
Best video posted by far! (As always, lol). Really appreciate the solo builds + several options cause sometimes I can reuse past raid attackers and not have to start from scratch (reused vaporeon from the primarina raids). Thanks man, really appreciate it :))
Thanks for the build. One thing to keep in mind is that an Intimidate NPC might actually be harmful this time. Because both times I did this raid (the first was a fail) I had an Intimidater with me and Swampert only started using Earthquake after I had all 6 Calm Minds up. Before that, it always attacked with Sludge Wave which will at some point poison you, which is a pain.
We never got a 7-star Primarina raid video from this channel. Not because Austin John forgot or was busy, but because he believed in us that we could do it without his help. I succeeded; I hope you all did too.
Thank you for being someone who makes videos to be informative & creative not just putting out videos every day on “rumors & leaks” for upcoming game when there’s not creditable source just to push out videos for $. I’ll wait for any z-a news from official stuff or you
With Vaporeon I had more success with aqua ring and fake tears instead of Austin's acid armour and curse moves. So turn one you use aqua ring which will essentially make you unkillable the whole raid because you'll be getting HP back while you are doing your set up moves. Then 3 fake tears. Turn 5 do a stored power just to work the towards tera and then he will put his shield up and clear your stats (but Swampert won't clear his own stats until later around your 2nd stored power). Next do 6 calm minds and then spam stored power until the raid is over.
Thank You So Much Austin John Plays For The Video I Used Your Strategy It Worked Like A Charm I Caught Swampert On My Third Attempt & It Did Work For Me Because I Did It Solo & Had Arboliva On My Team
After weeks of waiting to get Spinda in BDSP (only to find out Shiny Charm is broken), I can FINALLY get back into date skipping shenanigans in SV. And what great timing to get an AJP notification that there's a new Mightiest Mark Pokemon available. You love to see it.
I used a Flying tera type Vaporeon with water absorb ability. The moves were aqua ring, helping hand, mud slap and acid armour. The item was leftovers. The Vaporeon was a support pokemon rather than an attacker.
Off Topic; i think its crazy the view differences between these Videos and the Paper Mario Vids (They are awesome and everyone should watch all of them to see Austin Enjoying Paper Mario TTYD) All of your vids are awesome btw.
I’m doing a Lugia build if anyone wants to do it knock yourself out Lugia: Tera Psychic Max SpAtk, Max Speed or HP Held Item: Clear Amulet or Light Clay Ability: Multiscale Extrasensory Calm Mind Recover Reflect (Hope this helps out in the future my friends) Turn 1: Reflect Turn 2-4: Calm Mind Turn 5: Recover Turn 6: Reflect again Turn 7-9: Calm Mind until +6 Turn 10+: Extrasensory
I'm so glad this one is easily done solo. No one online seems to know what they're doing. I was hoping to farm Herba, but I've only one one online raid in 2.5 hours.
An adjustment to the Vaporeon strat: Just use Acid Armor and then ping Stored Power until the shield goes up, then Acid Armor and 6 Calm Mind. No sense wasting the first few turns on Calm Mind when it's just going to get wiped so quickly. Might take Aqua Ring as the 4th move just in case your AI partners really suck, but otherwise, just focus on building some Tera early as there's not much to do before that barrier goes up.
Vaporeon, Water Absorb, Modest, Psychic Tera, Covert Cloak, Aqua Ring round one never needs to heal, Acid Armor, Calm mind, and Stored Power. Either 252 in Hp or Def, 252 Spe Atk, then the other 4 in Hp or Def.
I used mud slap as the move to use to build up tera energy. It made Swampert miss a lot while I was using calm mind. Also, I didn't change the EVs from the build I used for Primarina... it didn't matter that my sp def was maxed out instead of def or hp.
I used Mewtwo but got lucky with 2 vaporeans and one person with mudshot (forgot the Pokémon). The three others were the tanks and supports while I was the damage dealer. Safe to say I hit the jackpot lol
Can defo recommend Wellspring Ogerpon with: Ivy Cudgel, Synthesis, Rain Dance, Sword Dance. Max ev's in Attack and HP, additional in Defense. Best partners for solo are Gardevoir + Arcanine or Staraptor First attack with Ivy Cudgel 4 times until Tera is unlocked (it will steal your Tera Orb's charge, so you need 4 hits), use Synthesis if needed (you should faint). Next use your Tera and use Sword Dance 3 times and Rain Dance 1 time (again Synthesis if needed) Then use Ivy Cudgel until it's done (and yet again Synthesis if you need) Gardevoir is VERY USEFUL and a pokemon with Intimidate is useful too. Have fun!
I think that arboliva is more important than you think. I was having a hard time with this build. I kept getting close, but I always had one death knocking off a big chunk of time that ends up being critical. Then I accidentally loaded up annihilape. I figured, might as well give it a go. Got off a couple screeches before shield up, then rage fist all the way home for the win. He kept hitting with hydro pump but that just kept powering up rage fist, and shell bell kept it going.
update since last facing it: you can settle for three calm minds and 2 acid armors once you tera and stored power your good only catch if Pert cries your screwed
He spams sludge wave on me instead of EQ. I think the AI that you have matter... because getting poisoned using this strat makes it fall apart EDIT* if def is higher he spams sludgewave, if sp.def. is higher he spams EQ
I tried it with Slowbro together with a friend, and man, it was annoying... When we used Iron Defense it used Sludge Bomb, when we used Amnesia it used Earthquake. We then split the strategy - one Iron Defense Slowbro, one Amnesia Slowbro - like, to confuse the Swampert (?) but what happens? It attacks us individually. I didn't know this was possible... In the end I thought we'd try one Slowbro with Lightscreen. Then it worked well. At elast we got it. For the future, I should maybe prepare a Vaporeon :/ Anyways, it's always fun to watch your raid guide!
It does work but the claim it doesn't depend on luck is incorrect, it is not 100% in my experience, I often get hit too hard not to heal and once I'm off tempo I can't always recover. Have had to retry a few times each day to get it.
Espathra works great as a supporter for this raid, lumina crash is super effective and lowers his special defense 2 stages, espathra is a tad squishy, so if you can just play a supportive role with friends, ggs 💪
I tried stored power Espathra and it feels faster. -Calm mind -Feather dance -Lumina crash -Stored power 252 sp def, 252 spd atk, 6 hp Speed boost Ability Having grassy terrain or burn on swampert makes the raid a lot more comfortable. Get -6 spd def on swampert, and then just tera stored power till win.
Cleared solo with this strat: Iron Leaves Grass Psychic Psychic, Quark Drive, Shell bell; Moveset - psyblade, electric terrain, swords dance (no need for 4th). Psyblade 3x, die. He will nullify your stats while your dead. After death Psyblade, Terastellize swords dance, electric terrain, Psyblade away until he dies. Note: you only need one swords dance with electric terrain because of quark drive and psyblade mechanics. Good luck!
I'm just gonna drop what I got it with on my first try: Corviknight (Mirror Armor) Hone Claws Power Trip Screech Tera Blast (Psychic Tera) My teammates provided steady damage, nothing particularly hard-hitting, I did a mix of Screech, Heal Chants, and tanked Hydro Pumps until I was able to Terastalize, at which point my [and my teammates'] Tera Blasts tore through the remaining health in no time.
So I re-used my Vaporeon from a previous raid (I think MM Iron Bundle?) Basically the same build as this but I had Babydoll Eyes instead of Curse. Holding Leftovers. Fired off 3 Babydoll Eyes right off the bat, then did the set up for Stored Power. Due to the 3 Babydoll Eyes, my 1st attack took out 4/5 of the shield, with him removing the debuff next turn but even then my 2nd attack finished off the shield & only 2 more to finish him off. Didn't even get the chance to terastallize.
Haven’t played in over a month and the one day I return and everything comes crashing back as to WHY I quit playing and was better off for it. Bugs galore, “would you like to abandon the raid” box stayed up during the whole battle and even afterwards in the overworld. Then I get hit with a crit sludge wave after getting my health chipped away which dropped me to red and then got poisoned and KOed on that turn along with another player’s Mew. Friggin’ wonderful.
EV investment in hp isn't necessary i used the same strat with max investment in sp def and sp attack and got the same result, was super easy, thank you for the information.
I used a Modest Gastrodon with Earth Power, Mud-Slap, Recover, and Ancient Power to try and get a few more SAtk increases. Holds Metronome, max Def, max SAtk. Was easy after 3-4 Mud-Slap hardly getting hit and then Metronome does most the work. EDIT: Ground tera.
I beat the raid with that Slowbro, but with Amnesia instead of Iron Defense. I did have a Staraptor using intimidate too, but that meant I didn't need to build a whole new Pokemon.
Better setup for me and a friend was same stats and everything else except the moves kinda similar to the rest of the Vaporeon combos: Mud Slap, Calm Mind, Acid Armour, Tera Blast. Use Mud slap x4 then tera then acid armour 1-2 after stat reset then calm mind x6 then tera blast away. Use PP up on Tera blast till its 16
I was wondering if orthworm would've worked but after this video, I wonder if I should go with my gastrodon after all. I don't use it as an attacker but specifically to tank water attacks and mud slap for lowering accuracy. It's defenses are pretty high as well so it shouldn't have an issue with any of swampert's attacks (unless there is a crit)
Me making my fourth Vaporeon for raids: “*sigh…* Here we go again…”
Thanks for the build Austin! 🖤
i never release my builds for this very reason 😂
Used Vaporeon on the last Primarina raid. It went very well. Reasons why Vaporeon's my top favorite mon and no, it's not because of the damn copypasta.
That's exactly my reaction xD. I've got 6 vappys now.
@@KaseiSuzaku it's just that good for raiding 👌
I've always used the same vaporeon changing his tera-type only. Much cheaper than buying ev-items and caps.
The “Iron Def” is meant to be acid armor, just for a slight fix if anyone got confused.
yes this lol
I was so confused, thank you lolol
thank you for catching that!
I only see 3 movesets calm mind acid armour and stored power
@@StephanieMaireFaith Charm is optional, and it helps.
Appreciate the inclusion of the failed tests before ending up with the final strat
people wonder why it takes TWO hours to get this video out... its cuz I'm workin' here! lol
Lol Austin Don't Worry About The Time Man Your Videos Are Awesome & Funny Sometimes To Watch You Put Out Quality Content
Galarian Articuno is a cheat code for the raid too you can put him to sleep with hypnosis if you want but I just spam freezing glare, 2 reflects, and a couple future sights.
1st solo try with G Articuno worked..
Calm Mind
Stored Power
Freezing Glare
Shell Bell
Max Sp Atk
Minimum requirements posted above..
1st turn boost stats..
Any hax suffered from the raid besides poison is actually a positive..
Spam freezing glare until near breaking shield..
Regular damage output should be enough to keep recovering safely each turn..
Stores power if competitive ability activates more then once..
Not too difficult..
@@rappermi you’re welcome my articuno is has boosted hp, speed and a tad bit into physical defense and it’s still easy.
Vaporeon is being the legendary raid killer for all of these raids. The goat of all the eevees
Exactly, I didn't go online for weeks so the raid was still on my game and my, shiny Vaporeon decimated it
Crazy how we're a year and a half into this games life cycle and we still have so many starters missing from the mighty fights
It’s only Feraligatr, Sceptile, Infernape, Torterra, Emboar, Serperior, and Incineroar not that bad tbh
Yeah it’s almost like there have been other raids and events going on … and that they’ve ran these stater raids twice a month for people who missed them the first time 😶
I believe GF is focusing in on mons that can mega evolve, for the Legends Z game coming. Like they want us to be well stacked with mega mons 🤷♂️
Thank you so much for making another one of these. You are by far my favorite “7 star raid mightiest mark coverer”. Your audience always has the best strats in the comments too.
Finally! Back to the war room!!!
Nice Vaporeon strat! I used a ground Tera ✨Quagsire, water absorb, earthquake, curse, chilling water, and recover. Max atk and max def EVs; Gg’s💪🏾💯
If it weren't for you, I would never be able to beat this, you're a hero Mr. Austin John Plays
thank you for the strat as always! two things to note:
1. getting poisoned by Sludge Wave = might as well restart the raid
2. Stored power is so strong, doing only 4 Calm Minds + Acid Armor is more than enough in case your HP gets too low
Yeah i keep getting knocked out before i can get a 4th calm mind off
Welcome back to the War Room. I have a Mewtwo solo build if anyone wants to try it out.
Mewtwo build (Mewtwo the Unrivaled recommended)
Tera type: Psychic
Nature: Modest
EVs:
252 HP
252 Special Attack
Item: Shell Bell
IVs: Best or Hyper Train HP, Special Attack, Defence and Special Defence
Moves:
Psystrike
Psychic
Nasty Plot
Recover
Start by using Psychic 4 times to build a Tera charge. Once Swampert resets your stats, start alternating between Nasty Plot, Recover and Psystrike. Don't forget to Terastalize.
Can confirm this build works without needing to build another Vaporeon, thank you!
Worked wonderfully for me as well! Thanks so much !
You're both welcome. My build is similar to the one BLAINES used, but I made my build before his Mewtwo solo vid went up.
Found mine had Speed Evs instead of HP and this still worked well! Though an NPC Gardevoir had life dew. Thanks!
I got Slowbro to work, but instead of Iron Defense, I used Amnesia. I kept my stats at max Sp.Atk and Def so that the high Def would tank Swampert’s physical attacks, while Amnesia would tank its special attacks. The fact that this Swampert is a mixed attacker is actually kinda sneaky challenging because if you max out one defensive stat, it just hits you in the other one.
Best starter finally gets the mightiest mark
I think this is also dependent on which NPCs you get because I tried this a bunch of times last night and kept losing, but then I did it again this morning after the game refreshed the NPCs and it worked.
Just turn the game on and off and it should refresh NPCs, right? 🤔
Slowbro does work, you just gotta substitute with Iron Defense with Amnesia. Also, probably EV train into HP instead of Sp.ATK, so you have more bulk. Stored power will do big damage, even with the lower stats.
I used that Slowbro build, and I did it on my first attempt. Much slower than the Vaporeon build, but it's still doable
what nature was ur slowbro?
Swampert!! ❤
I'll just say: I too solo'd this (first try) with my Slowbro when I had both Bellibolt and Arboliva as my partners as well. These two Pokémon, especially together, are super useful, massively reducing the damage you take (from Light Screen and Grassy Terrain). Also Intimate users are useful (Tauros, Arcanine, Staraptor). I personally feel this might be one of those raids where a good partner can be especially helpful 😊
Back to the War Room friends! General, we await your orders! ❤
Hey uhhhh a huge bug happened to me,
So in a raid it was me playing the vaporeon, another guy with a smeargle, and two mewtwos, a normal one and a shiny one
The raid took a long time to load and then I realized my vaporeon didn’t have the right moveset and it was a lot like a smeargle one, then swampert one shot me so I was super confused, when i respawned I realized I myself was the smeargle , the normal mewtwo was vaporeon, the smeargle was shiny mewtwo and the shiny mewtwo was normal mewtwo, I don’t know what happened or how it happened, but we obviously lost the raid, somehow we switched Pokémon, I took photos and videos if Austin wants proof but I don’t know if it’s a common thing, anyway thanks a lot Austin since the set you gave us was really helpful!
There’s even a frame where there’s two shiny mewtwos on screen
that does just happen sometimes, not sure why
@@scrunkore welp thanks a lot for the information since I was so confused
Best video posted by far! (As always, lol). Really appreciate the solo builds + several options cause sometimes I can reuse past raid attackers and not have to start from scratch (reused vaporeon from the primarina raids). Thanks man, really appreciate it :))
Thanks for the build. One thing to keep in mind is that an Intimidate NPC might actually be harmful this time.

That final battle was an amazing watch, satisfying all the strategies in play.
Thanks for the build! I have 1 Lure ball left and saving it for Feraligator so went with a great ball
Despite getting crit turn 1, 2, and 4 and getting knocked out, still beat the raid with time to spare.
Thank you for being someone who makes videos to be informative & creative not just putting out videos every day on “rumors & leaks” for upcoming game when there’s not creditable source just to push out videos for $. I’ll wait for any z-a news from official stuff or you
With Vaporeon I had more success with aqua ring and fake tears instead of Austin's acid armour and curse moves. So turn one you use aqua ring which will essentially make you unkillable the whole raid because you'll be getting HP back while you are doing your set up moves. Then 3 fake tears.

All of your vids are awesome btw.
It's amazing how vaporeon have showned itself to be so solid for so many raids.
I’m doing a Lugia build if anyone wants to do it knock yourself out
Lugia: Tera Psychic
Max SpAtk, Max Speed or HP
Held Item: Clear Amulet or Light Clay
Ability: Multiscale
Extrasensory
Calm Mind

(Hope this helps out in the future my friends)
Turn 1: Reflect
Turn 2-4: Calm Mind
Turn 5: Recover
Turn 6: Reflect again
Turn 7-9: Calm Mind until +6
Turn 10+: Extrasensory
I'm so glad this one is easily done solo. No one online seems to know what they're doing. I was hoping to farm Herba, but I've only one one online raid in 2.5 hours.
An adjustment to the Vaporeon strat:
Just use Acid Armor and then ping Stored Power until the shield goes up, then Acid Armor and 6 Calm Mind.

Might take Aqua Ring as the 4th move just in case your AI partners really suck, but otherwise, just focus on building some Tera early as there's not much to do before that barrier goes up.
I had the same exact thought process with Gastrodon and it went the same exact way, that’s why I came here to you 🤣 🤣🤣
Vaporeon, Water Absorb, Modest, Psychic Tera, Covert Cloak, Aqua Ring round one never needs to heal, Acid Armor, Calm mind, and Stored Power. Either 252 in Hp or Def, 252 Spe Atk, then the other 4 in Hp or Def.

Can defo recommend Wellspring Ogerpon with: Ivy Cudgel, Synthesis, Rain Dance, Sword Dance. Max ev's in Attack and HP, additional in Defense. Best partners for solo are Gardevoir + Arcanine or Staraptor
First attack with Ivy Cudgel 4 times until Tera is unlocked (it will steal your Tera Orb's charge, so you need 4 hits), use Synthesis if needed (you should faint).
Next use your Tera and use Sword Dance 3 times and Rain Dance 1 time (again Synthesis if needed)
Then use Ivy Cudgel until it's done (and yet again Synthesis if you need)
Gardevoir is VERY USEFUL and a pokemon with Intimidate is useful too.
Have fun!
Cannot say how crucial Sunny Day is for those going in with Psychic moves.
I think that arboliva is more important than you think. I was having a hard time with this build. I kept getting close, but I always had one death knocking off a big chunk of time that ends up being critical.

Once again your videos have made yet another raid a cake walk. Much appreciated my guy. Keep up the great work!
Got it with my Vaporeon! Thanks AJP, always appreciate your videos.
He spams sludge wave on me instead of EQ. I think the AI that you have matter... because getting poisoned using this strat makes it fall apart
EDIT* if def is higher he spams sludgewave, if sp.def. is higher he spams EQ
Accidentally had Water Tera on Vaporeon and STILL cleaned Swampert’s clock.
I tried it with Slowbro together with a friend, and man, it was annoying... When we used Iron Defense it used Sludge Bomb, when we used Amnesia it used Earthquake.
We then split the strategy - one Iron Defense Slowbro, one Amnesia Slowbro - like, to confuse the Swampert (?) but what happens? It attacks us individually. I didn't know this was possible...

Anyways, it's always fun to watch your raid guide!
Worked first try, thanks for the awesome strat!
It does work but the claim it doesn't depend on luck is incorrect, it is not 100% in my experience, I often get hit too hard not to heal and once I'm off tempo I can't always recover. Have had to retry a few times each day to get it.
Espathra works great as a supporter for this raid, lumina crash is super effective and lowers his special defense 2 stages, espathra is a tad squishy, so if you can just play a supportive role with friends, ggs 💪
The Return of the goat Vaporeon who disintegrated Blastoise from existence can’t wait to see how this goes with Swampert
I always trust in the Pokémon you choose and you have not failed me yet, this was a good one. I beat him and captured him. Thanks again AJP!!
Just did this raid with this build austin john play your awsome for this build we just destroyed swampert
I tried stored power Espathra and it feels faster.
-Calm mind
-Feather dance
-Lumina crash
-Stored power
252 sp def, 252 spd atk, 6 hp
Speed boost Ability
Having grassy terrain or burn on swampert makes the raid a lot more comfortable.
Get -6 spd def on swampert, and then just tera stored power till win.
"Acupuncture on the Swampert" lmao that's wrong on two different ways
Cleared solo with this strat: Iron Leaves Grass Psychic Psychic, Quark Drive, Shell bell; Moveset - psyblade, electric terrain, swords dance (no need for 4th).
Psyblade 3x, die. He will nullify your stats while your dead. After death Psyblade, Terastellize swords dance, electric terrain, Psyblade away until he dies.
Note: you only need one swords dance with electric terrain because of quark drive and psyblade mechanics. Good luck!
The War Room is back! Thank you again for a great strategy
This was the easiest 7* raid ever!!! Thank you so much for helping all of us. U are the best, Austin!!
I love it when he says "Luuure Ball" It sounds so funny.
I used Lugia - Psychic Tera
Calm Mind, Earth Power, Psychic and Giga Drain, (which I never used)
Worked Great!!
I'm just gonna drop what I got it with on my first try:
Corviknight (Mirror Armor)
Hone Claws
Power Trip
Screech
Tera Blast (Psychic Tera)
My teammates provided steady damage, nothing particularly hard-hitting, I did a mix of Screech, Heal Chants, and tanked Hydro Pumps until I was able to Terastalize, at which point my [and my teammates'] Tera Blasts tore through the remaining health in no time.
You floored that Swampert at the end there!
😮
Nice, another Vaporeon that can get the job done. I have some friends that also have had success with Espathra and Reuniclus.
Yo let's go! 7 Star videos are back!
So I re-used my Vaporeon from a previous raid (I think MM Iron Bundle?)
Basically the same build as this but I had Babydoll Eyes instead of Curse. Holding Leftovers.
Fired off 3 Babydoll Eyes right off the bat, then did the set up for Stored Power. Due to the 3 Babydoll Eyes, my 1st attack took out 4/5 of the shield, with him removing the debuff next turn but even then my 2nd attack finished off the shield & only 2 more to finish him off. Didn't even get the chance to terastallize.
I'm running a support Psychic Tera Gastrodon. Mudslap, Chilling Water, Tera Blast, and Recover. Cheer for health when needed.
For more healing, you could use Water Ring instead Curse
Haven’t played in over a month and the one day I return and everything comes crashing back as to WHY I quit playing and was better off for it. Bugs galore, “would you like to abandon the raid” box stayed up during the whole battle and even afterwards in the overworld. Then I get hit with a crit sludge wave after getting my health chipped away which dropped me to red and then got poisoned and KOed on that turn along with another player’s Mew. Friggin’ wonderful.
Tried Slowpoke but failed..tried Vaporeon and boom! Got mine!
SWAMPERT!!!❤❤❤
MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME IS HERE!
I caught Swampert on my first attempt!

Love the videos bro! I was able to solo the 7 star raid with Vaporeon. Clutch as always!
EV investment in hp isn't necessary i used the same strat with max investment in sp def and sp attack and got the same result, was super easy, thank you for the information.
I just used the Angry Monke, I tried like 3 different builds, but Angry Monke just destroys.
What's your build please ? Object, EV, attacks ?
@@alexandrehuat773 252 HP and Attack, Shell Bell, Defiant for the ability, moveset is: Drain Punch, Rage Fist, Bulk Up, and Screech.
I used a Modest Gastrodon with Earth Power, Mud-Slap, Recover, and Ancient Power to try and get a few more SAtk increases. Holds Metronome, max Def, max SAtk. Was easy after 3-4 Mud-Slap hardly getting hit and then Metronome does most the work. EDIT: Ground tera.
Rocked it with Espathra, shell bell.
Feather Dance
Calm Mind
Lumina Crash
Stored Power
I beat the raid with that Slowbro, but with Amnesia instead of Iron Defense.
I did have a Staraptor using intimidate too, but that meant I didn't need to build a whole new Pokemon.
Better setup for me and a friend was same stats and everything else except the moves kinda similar to the rest of the Vaporeon combos: Mud Slap, Calm Mind, Acid Armour, Tera Blast.
Use Mud slap x4 then tera then acid armour 1-2 after stat reset then calm mind x6 then tera blast away. Use PP up on Tera blast till its 16
They really need to update swampert hiiden ability like they did for empoleon
My boy finally gets his time to shine :D
Figured out Psychic Tera Vaporeon on my own, but was using Chilling Water rather than Curse.
Mine just doesn't take it out as quickly as what I saw here in your video.
Turn 1: Acid Armor
Turn 2/3: Calm Mind
Turn 4/5: Stored Power
Turn 6 Acid Armor
Turn 7/8/9/10/11/12/13: Calm Mind/use cheer remove yawn effect when you get sleep
Turn 14: Spam Stored Power
I went with the mewtwo build, psychic tera. Was able to solo him 1st go. I may jump in a few with vaporeon to farm herbas 💪💪💪
On max Def Slowbro just use Amnesia and it will work the same.
Thanks Austin. Also great haircut 😍 lol
Finally, a use for my Mightiest Mark Vaporeon.
The War Room has returned, praise Lord Helix!
I just reused my Gastrodon from the Pukachu Raid
i used a reuniclus build using calm mind, acid armor, stored power, and psychic terrain as my moveset
Thank you Austin John!
..Not me who totally forgot these different starters are in the raids.. 😆🤦🏼♂
Love Austin John, Nice analysis.
I was wondering if orthworm would've worked but after this video, I wonder if I should go with my gastrodon after all. I don't use it as an attacker but specifically to tank water attacks and mud slap for lowering accuracy. It's defenses are pretty high as well so it shouldn't have an issue with any of swampert's attacks (unless there is a crit)
Anyone have a better strat? This one is extremely inconsistent and rng based
Welcome to the war room to the real ones who stayed subscribed through the (truly awesome) paper Mario content!
I've been trying for days now I got super close with Groudon because of his sun effect decreased the hydro pump damage
